I've found that a late model copper o-ring exhaust port gasket works every well on 175's. I think it transfers much more heat from the head to the pipe and...
What kind of gaskets come with the 175 gasket sets? The CB350 sets that I've always bought come with the copper o-rings. And what does your friendly local...

Yes, I have actaully bought quite a bit from them, and the woman I have called there has always been very helpful. Bill, See ya on Monday? Are you entering...
Scott I'll be there Monday for sure. I won't know what I'm bumping to until I see the race schedule on Monday but it's doubtful that ULSV is in my future. I'd...
Craig, Wow, 350 sets come with those nice orings? Cool. Most 175 sets I've seen, including OEM Honda sets come with the crappy asbestos/wire rings that look...
I've ordered three or four things from them. Always good service so far. I'm thinking of going ULWSV this time out. I'm tied for 4th in 250 gp but I've got no...
JohnnyB I haven't seen any schedule yet. Just figured I'd check it when registering in the morning. If the weather is good and I'm feeling frisky I'll pack my...
JB, Quick, before you shut down . . . Is there a difference between Lift and openings of a cam that is stock two carb 175 and a stock single carb version of...
Scott, I gotta admit that I don't know the answer to that. I would assume yes because it's such a different head and intake setup. I'm guessing the duration...
Jophnny, how far away in miles from the Giro are you? The Gilera is running well. I do not think it has the claimed 70 mph top speed, but it is close. I got...
Scott, I'm 69.5 miles almost due north of the Giro. Mary took a few short rides on her Gilera today...seems to be running pretty good. Just a tad lean on the...
Wanna build a possibly permanent cam chain tensioner? This is how I'm doing it. Take apart the small end of a stock tensioner carefully by grinding off the end...
JohnnyB Nice work I kinda wondered what you were doing with starter sprockets. Phil Busch had told me about that Kawasaki metal cam chain roller a long time...
Bill, Do you know where I can find a picture of the slipper tensioner you use? I have a feeling that solution won't work for the 175. The distance between...
JohnnyB Sorry to take so long getting back to you- I've been out of town for the last week. Here is a photo of the tensioner. I'll bring up one for you to...
Thanks Bill, I'd like to take a look at one. Looks different than what might work on a 175. I've got a couple of tensioners built with metal sprockets ...
Hi everyone, Im new to the group and thought I would introduce myself. Im Kym, from NJ. I was just given a 1971 CB175. It needs a bit of cleaning up and just a...

Hey Kym Nice Beemer. What year is it? I have a couple of old ones myself. Your 175 looks like it's in nice shape too- too nice to chop up for the track. A...
